 stopped over him and grasped the fragment of wood with the intention of pulling it from it's place, when, with a yell of agony, he writhed away, leaving a broken piece of the wood ill my hand, and the rest still firm ia his jaw. Faint at the sight, I staggered back, and Morell stepped forward, and laying his hand upon the forehead of the man, he pressed the head against the earth so firmly it was impossible for him to move, and look ing into the poor wretch's face, he said, in a firm, low voice, Samuel ; And to me, still standing with the bloody piece of wood ill my hand, there came like flash the thought of the biblical tale of the Lord calling upon the youth in the darkness. The suffering man rolled his eyes quickly and met the look which had met me that night in my woodlands. Instantly it seemed the drawn muscles of his agoniZed face sottened, his eyes re- laxed their horrible stare, and in a moment closed his hands unloosened their grip and lay like the hands of a sleeping man. Then Morell rose and said, samuel, stand up." Instantly he arose and stood before him. Then speaking to the woman, who seemed somewhat composed now, Mo- rell said, Bring Us to your room and find some linen bandages and oint- ment. She leaped and ran like mad for the house, and Morell, saying, "Follow me-" led after. The woman opened the door, and Morell led the man ill and bade him lie down upon the bed. He then drew a small dag ger from his bosom and de1tly opened the wound ill the cheek, and stepping over, seized the still remaining frag- ment that appeared through the ghastly opening with his teeth and held the mans head with his hand and drew back with all his force and succeeded in eXtricating it. Dashing the blood, which was now clotting about his mouth, away, Morell washed the wound and poured upon it some ointment the woman had brought, and bound it with the linen bandages. He then ordered the wo- man to go immediately to the village, which was but a quarter of a mile distant. and procure physician. Without waiting for further orders, she sped of like winged creature.
 Leaving the man thus we returned to the library and continued the con- versation, which had been broken by the appearance of the woman. Morell occasionally glanced through the win dow, near which he had seated him. self, and in about half an hour from the time we had returned from the accident he remarked, "Ah, they are coming" He then arose and leaned out of the open window, and, as the woman and physician disappeared through the outer door, he dropped his head upon his breast and the veins of his forehead swelled out and seemed to clasp around his face like purple fingers. Instantly there was a 1 loud shriek, as of pain, from the room occupied by the sufferer. Morell then resumed his seat and confined the con versation.

Little by little, ill all the woven wonder of his marvellous power of hypotyposis, Morell unfolded this science he had at command, this power so star-like high above the sterile philosophy of the world.
 The established truth was this: This man, a mortal, had within his power, by some great concentration of the will, to completely sunder the life, spirit, soul, mind, consciousness. or by whatsoever name the world may be pleased to call it; in short, all that was life about him, at the com mand of his will power, cultivated by stupendous erudition, all, say, that constituted consciousness, sundered it. self from the body, and bearing with it that ethereal magnetic will and being, became free-absolutely and entirely free; bound by no laws of gravitation or desire, tree as the light ming flash, falling swift and glad from world to world and with that will which had guided that gross body, as momentum, the very heavens lay at his feet. confess when the full grandeur of the thought dawned upon me as he patiently explained the met aphysical reasoning ot this unknown principle of self-mesmerism by which the bonds that death alone claimed prerogative to loosen, were broken by a human will, sank down child like and blinded at his feet.
